Helping others uncover their light, unravel how they've learned to be in this life, & embrace what’s possible next in their journey of transformation.
Nūma (pneuma) is an ancient Greek word for both breath and spirit. Somatics refers to both somatic psychotherapeutics and experiential movement practices. Nūma is a precious opportunity to meet yourself and other amazing human beings in a curious, vulnerable, authentic, embodied, and creatively expressive way.
It is the weaving together of life-transforming breathwork practices with trauma-informed somatic psycho-therapeutic investigations, somatic movement explorations, sound medicine, and so much more. Nūma is a bridge between science and the sacred. It employs sensitive therapeutic processes as well as insightful and profound dives into non-ordinary states of consciousness. It's an empowering exploration of the continuum of human experience and a catalyst for resolving suffering, unleashing creativity, and rekindling the flame in our hearts and souls.

“But what happens when I go home?”
It’s a common, often unexpressed consideration. And it’s a good one.
Because the truth is—a retreat isn’t an escape. It’s not a week off from your life. It’s a portal. And what comes next is where the real transformation lives.
Here’s what people often experience after a retreat like Respira:
🌊 THE IMMEDIATE 🌊
You return home different. Softer. More curious. More present. More yourself. The patterns you worked with in Costa Rica haven’t disappeared, but your relationship to them has shifted. You notice how they play out in day-to-day life. You pause before reacting. You choose differently.
🌊 THE SETTLING 🌊
The first few weeks can feel disorienting. The world you left is the same, but you’re not. Old relationships might feel different. Familiar dynamics might feel discordant. This isn’t regression—it’s clarity. You’re seeing everything through a new lens.
🌊 THE INTEGRATION 🌊
This is where the real work begins. The insights from the retreat want to be lived, not just remembered. You might find yourself setting new boundaries. Renegotiating relationships. Starting conversations you’ve been avoiding. Making choices that feel true even when they’re hard.
🌊 THE RIPPLE 🌊
Your transformation doesn’t just affect you. It touches everyone around you. Your partner notices you’re more present. Your friends see you’re less reactive. Your family feels the shift even if they can’t name it. Some will celebrate this. Some won’t. Both are information.
🌊 THE BECOMING 🌊
Months later, you’ll look back and realize—you didn’t just have an experience. You changed. Not in a dramatic, sudden way. But in a thousand small ways that add up to a different life. A truer life. A life that feels more like yours.
So what comes next after Respira?
The rest of your life. But now, you have new tools. New awareness. New capacity. New permission to live as yourself.
And that changes everything.

✨ Sometimes the body speaks before the mind can catch up.
In breathwork, we often find ourselves in experiences that don’t fit neatly into words or memories — sensations that arrive without a story, movements that don’t have a label, feelings that aren’t ready to be explained. And that’s exactly where the learning happens.
This reflection is from one of our Level 1 students — discovering that breathwork can invite a deeper form of knowing, one that doesn’t need to be understood to be real.
If you’ve been craving a practice that honours the intelligence of the body — not just the mind — this training might be for you.

What if your body is smarter than your mind?
For most of us, we’ve been thoroughly trained to trust the mind—to think our way through problems, to control our bodies, to override what we feel.
Yet your body has its own intelligence. A real, profound intelligence that the mind, at least consciously, doesn’t necessarily understand or control.
Realizing that your body actually operates interdependently with my mind—that they communicate and collaborate rather than one dominating the other—can completely transform your understanding of yourself as a human being.
Instead of the Cartesian attempts to control your body with your mind, experiment with handing over the steering wheel. Trust what your body knows, at least some of the time.
It seems to come in handy when we’re inviting in healing.
This is a foundational aspect of what we teach in the Nūma Breathwork training. Learning to move beyond mental control and into the embodied wisdom that lives in every breath.
Level 1 Facilitator Training | Vancouver | March 11-15
We’ve decided to extend our early bird pricing until March 11th!
Our group is taking shape. A magical, unique circle of like-hearted humans - curious and open - ready to retreat into the wilds of Costa Rica. To learn, grow and transform.
✨ Curious what a Nūma Breathwork Facilitator Training actually feels like?
Here’s a glimpse through the words of one of our students - a reflection on the mind, the body, and the paradox of learning to be with both.
This piece reminds us that the intellect isn’t the enemy of embodiment - it’s part of the body too.
And sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is loosen our grip, let curiosity enter the room, and allow wonder to grow. 🌙

We often look for external keys to unlock our internal doors. It’s easy to gravitate toward psychedelics for that “breakthrough” experience.
But there can be a massive difference between being a passenger and being the pilot.
With breathwork, you have your foot on the gas pedal. You aren’t just along for the ride; you’re learning to regulate your own nervous system, contact your inner healer, and build a toolkit that stays with you long after the session ends.
Ready to find your own rhythm? Curious about training in compassionately potent ways to support others in doing the same?
Join us for our upcoming Vancouver Level 1 Breathwork Facilitator Training, March 11-15, 2026.
Even if you’re simply interested in exploring and understanding more for yourself, it’s for you.
Nūma Breathwork Level 1 Training
A transformational journey in self, relationship, and healing
This Level 1 training is both a living conversation and a deeply experiential immersion into conscious, connected breathwork. Grounded in safety, presence, and therapeutic integrity, you’ll learn how to facilitate breathwork within a healthy, attuned therapeutic relationship — honoring the nervous system, autonomy, and uniqueness of each individual.
Through hands-on practice, shared inquiry, and guided exploration of non-ordinary states of consciousness, you’ll develop the skills to safely support profound healing experiences. You’ll both give and receive multiple one-on-one breathwork sessions while learning essential theory, self-regulation tools, trauma-informed practices, and integration techniques that translate far beyond the breathwork space.
This training is ideal for practitioners, healers, and seekers who wish to deepen their capacity to hold safe, compassionate, and transformational spaces — for others and for themselves.

✨ Ever wonder what it feels like to be held by your own nervous system?
Here’s a glimpse from one of our students - a reflection on trembling, grief, and the quiet realization that there is nothing to surmount. A moment of returning home to the body, without needing intensity to feel alive. 🌿
This is what Nūma Breathwork Facilitator Training Level 1 is really about:
Learning to hold space for the ordinary, the tender, the human. Not to “fix” anyone - but to witness what wants to be felt.

Nūma (pneuma) is an ancient Greek word for both breath and spirit. Somatics refers to both somatic psychotherapeutics and experiential movement practices.
Nūma Somatics is a practice that strategically weaves together the transformational power of Conscious Breathwork, deep bodily unwindings of somatic movement explorations, mindful somatic psychotherapeutic investigations, and the medicinal vibrations of sound therapy.
Nūma Somatics is a psychosomatic therapeutic process, an insightful dive into non-ordinary states of consciousness, and a curious exploration in being fully alive.
The 300-hr Nūma Somatics Facilitator Training is a blend of in-person training, web meetings, home studies, and practicum hours.
In-person training occurs over four 5-day modules and accounts for 150 contact hours within the facilitator training.
Immersion - Experience Numa Breathwork. This 15-hr immersion may be used to fulfill the entrance requirements into the 300 hr Facilitator Training Program. It is your opportunity to deeply taste the depth and potency of the practices we offer. Whether you are attending it as a Pre-Req or to dive more deeply into your own personal journey, this weekend immersion will help to resolve old burdens and foster clarity in life.
Level 1: Conscious Breathwork Basics. This is an experiential dive into the therapeutic modality of Conscious Breathwork. It is your opportunity to deepen your personal experience with Conscious Breathwork and develop the practical skill sets required to safely facilitate transformational one-on-one Breathwork sessions.
Level 2: Breathwork: Exploring Psyche and Soma. Deepen your understanding of Conscious Breathwork and your capacity to offer it as an effective healing and mind-expanding tool. Together, we will explore the expansive framework of Transpersonal Psychology and how the seemingly endless gamut of Breathwork experiences can be embraced from this global point of view. Specific complimentary principles and practices from the field of body psychology will be investigated and practiced.
Level 3: Somatics: Sensitive Therapeutics. Breathwork is a practice that is both Shamanic, delving into non-ordinary states of consciousness, and somatic, delving into the body and breath-based patterns of stress and trauma. Level 3 involves, for that reason, an investigation of select theories, principles and practices within the field of somatic psychotherapy that are complimentary and supportive of your Breathwork practice. You will cultivate the capacity to work deeply and safely with sensitive clientele.
Level 4: Strategic Interventions, Ceremony, and Group Facilitation. An expansion into the realms of group facilitation. It is your opportunity to cultivate your capacity to present the theories, principles and practices of Nūma Somatics in a variety of formats. You will both receive and provide Nūma Somatics group sessions with fellow students as you develop the skill sets required to construct and maintain safe containers for wide spread transformation.
The 500-hr Nūma Somatics Practitioner Certification is granted upon the successful completion of at least 200 hours of training in our advanced modules. Each 50-hour advanced module is a blend of in-person training, web meetings, home studies, and practicum hours.
There are five advanced modules to select from, allowing for a degree of "specialization" as a Nūma Somatics Practitioner. Select from:
Advanced Psycho-Emotional Body Reading (Modules A & B)
Pattern Specific Bodywork (Modules A & B)
Pattern Specific Client Self-Care
Alternative Breathwork Practices & the Continuum of Consciousness
Nūma Yoga Teacher Training
